The Li verpool Address, which appeared in our Paper of Yesterday, breathes a true British spirit, and the Freeholders, Merchants, and other Inhalitants of .North Shields and its vicinity, have avowed the same loyal feelings, and patriotic principleS. The Decla. ration from the City of London, was originally sub. scribed by so many persons of considerable property , 4 4(.1 unimpeachable chara&er, that it must have given almost adeath-tlow to the pretended reformers. It has stripped them of that respeaable charaacr Which they assumed : they can no longer style . themselves " the Livery of London," becauce 2500 of tlfat Livery (a number much greater than was as -sembled at, the Cowman-Hall, even admittidig they were all Freemen) have disavowed their proceedings and disclaimed their prittcipies. Another measure, *e understand, is in contemplation, which will re- Move all doubs, it any could exist, as to the sense of :the Metropolis respe6ting the. conduit and princi. Pies of the Modern Reformers. Many most re iPeEtable inhabitants of London are not Liver) men • tt is therefore intended, we understand, to call a ttleeting of the Merthants, Bankers, Traders, &c.

By a Gentleman who has just arrived from. Par;, \‘'e learn, that the latest rumour i❑ that city was, that IiuONAt'ARTE., finding the war in Spain t;o te 'tons, and indeed hopeless, had icsolved to ;adopt EfiIDINAND VII. to unite him in marriage wits t one Of the BUONAPARTE family, and to let him ha 4 e the t he Crown of Spain. If there be any truth iii this 't)iziour, it will serve to account for a passe in E I 2 DINAND'S recent letter. We beg to call the attention of our 'Readers I to the Ileport of the Cousmittee appointed to examine by l 'hat means, and under what circumstances some persons were killed or wounded by the military in t he City, rill the gth April.

THE LATE DiSTaRBANCES% A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, at which were p - resent the Lord Mayor, nineteen Aldermen, and the City Officers; The Report of the Committee appointed to inves tigate by what means, and under what circumstances some persons were killed or wounded by the mili tary within the City, on the gth of April last, which was presented at the last Court, and read, was again read ; after which the following just and rational re solutions were agreed to : SMITH, MAYOR, At a Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, holden in the• Council Chainbar, at Guildhall, London, on Tuesday, the 15th day of May, 1810, and in the 50th year of the reign of Ge•.rge the Third, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King, &c. Resolved, That this Court, after a very long and careful examination to " discover by what causes and under what circumstances some persons were killed or wounded by the military on Monday, the gth of April last," have duly weighed and compared the great body of evidence which has come belore them, and find that no shot was fired by the soldiery on their way with Sir Francis Burdett to the Tower, although much provocation on the part . of the po pulace had dicovered itself, by assailing them with stones, bricks, and other dangerous substances, as they approached it, and during their stay there ; and that from the - general testimony given, the military endured this treatment with the greatest patience and forbearance. That on their return from the Tower, through a part of this City, the violence of the assailants on the rear-guard became excessive, so that their lives appeared to be in dan ger, and that in consequence some of them fired ; and this Court have most seriously to lament that such firing of the rear-guard has been in two cases fatal, by the deaths of -- Bryant, and Thomas Ebrall. That it appears frorn'the concurrent testimony of Many respeaable witnesses, that the soldiers took no particular aim, but for the most part fired over the heads of their assailants; and that, had they been so inclined, it was within their power to have de stroyed many of the individuals who attacked them. That the firing is represented to have been indis criminate, more to keep the mob back thin to de stroy. That this Court, much.as they regret that a single life should have been lost on the occasion, cannot but declare it as their opinion, from an im partial review of the whole of the testimony taken together,' that the firing was occasioned by the powerful and natural impulse of self-defence, in men whose lives were in the most imminent peril from a formidable and furious populace, who fol lowed them up, hulling stones of great magnitude upon them, and other substances, calculated to maim or destroy. WOODTHOR PE. We understand that a motion was made to offer a , reward for the discovery of the person•who fired the pistol by which Thomas Ebrall was killed, which was negatived. The Thanks of the Court were voted to the Rev. Mr. WooD, Chaplain to the Lord Mayor, for his sermon at St. Paul's. • The following Gentlemen were ordered"to be put in nomination to the Livery on Mithutnmer-day next, for their choice of two of th e m t o serve t h e offices of Sheriffs of the City of London and County of Middlesex for the ensuing year : John Fish, Esq Citi zen an d Wh ee l wr i ght. ohn Blades, Esq. . . • Citizen and Ironmonger. John Reay, Esq Citizen and Vintner. Michael Hoy, Esq. . . Thomas Foster, Esq. . Andrew lordaine, Esq. . John Gardner, Esq. . . Benjamin Severn, Esq. . Josiah Banger, Esq. . . A ship arrived yesterday from Ostend . in 26 hours. The Captain states, that at the time he came away Buonaparte and Maria Louisa were expefted g that place. He saw part of the body guard arrive ; the whole consisted of about 1500 horse. Scaffolding •was ere&ed in various parts of the town, to enable the inhabitants to obtain a lull view of their Ma jesties. They proposed to take an aquatic excur sion and a boat was elegantly fitted up for that purpose, to be rowed by twenty Captains, who had offered their services on the occasion. A large scaf-. folding, superbly decorated, had also been raised, commanding a full view of the river, froni whence Buonaparte and his wife were to view the shipping splendid fees were likewise to be given on, the water, if the weather proved favourable. • In the afternoon of Saturday seinnight, as a wag . - gon loaded with camp equipage was passing the Star Tap, in St. George's.place, Canterbury, a man who had the appearance of a pedlar in a state of intoxicazion, imprudently attempted to stop the carriage 'by catching h o ld o f t h e spokes of a hind -wheel, when, after being carried round on it seve ral times, he was thrown down, and the wheel passed over his breast. He was immediately taken up and carried away into the public-house, where he vomited a good deal, and on the recommendation of a surgeon he WAS placed in a chair tor the pur pose of being conveyed to the hospital, when hay ing reached about half way, he suddenly started up, inquired whither he was going, and jumping- out of the chair, walked back to the Star Tap, where he remained about an hour, and then proceeded on his journey, seemingly without having sustained any injury from his accident. The amount of the interest of the Loan to be raided for the service of the present year will be about 700,0001. It is expected to be provided for without any new taxes, except a trifling increase in the postage of letters. Some new regulations will be made in the Stamp duties, which will have the ef feet of increasing the receipt of that branch of the Revenue. The duties on timber imported from any parts but, from our colonies gf Nova Scotia, New , Brunswick, and Canada, will be increased. A letter from Heligoland, dated 28th April, re. ceived by way of Leith, says " By the last accounts, it appears Chit a body of French and Dutch troops has entered Einbden, and more were expected. Until it is known what course they mean to pursue, it is not likely that much busines will be done here. Our gun-boats returned yesterday, with the loss of one of their officer's and 30 men who were captured in an unsuccessful attempt to land." .filft. ALBERT G..-ILLATLi': Mr. Albert.Gallatin; the Secretary to the Trea; aory in the Government of the United StateS of America who is Said to have become a public de faulter, to an imme nse extent, i s a native of Genoa: He was brought to the city of Boston, in -Massa 7 chussets, in a merchant ship of that country, and was left behind, he being only a mew servant, pennylesS," and without even a knowledge of the English lan guage. Whether he was discharged for miscondut, or left ashore by accident, is not known. Bur; with the usual ingenuity of his comrrymen, (Italians) he took up the occupation of sell ing oranges through the streets. In the course of his perambulations he was met by Thomas M‘Kane, who has been since Governor of Pennsylvania, to whom he related his story, and, who, finding Gallatin to have some education, and to be ciu:ck of apprehension, he supplied him with money, and sent him to the back part of the State of Penn7lVania, where he commenced school master. In the year 1797, the time of the turbances in the back part of the State, he came forward at the head of what •,..eis then called the Popular Party, against the Excise Laws, but vulgarly, called the Whisky Laws. He was prose cuted, acquitted, and afterwards scot to Congress as their representative. And although he only broken English, he was a leader in the Op position to the Administration of the then Presi dent, John Ada Ms. He became a favourite of the late President Jefferson, and on his coming into Ad ministration, he appointed Mr. Gallatin, Secretary to the Treasury. • However some persons disap proved of his political conduct}, it was allowed by all parties, that he was a most excellent financier, as the sequel has proved. EDINBURGH, MAY 12. The gabbart Helen, of Rot hesay, bound for In Verary, with a cargo of coals, left the quiy shortly alter two o'clock, on Monday last, having two men on board, including the master, and an old woman, a p ,ssenger. She had not sailed more than two miles from be harbour, when she‘was observed lobe sinking, and, in a few moments afterwards, totally to tlisappelr. The master, Thomas M‘Kirdy, and the woman were drown'A. The other man was saved, by getting into the boat, without an oar, and with the assistance only of his shoes, he brought the boat into Kanies-bay. He states, that fie seve ral times requested the man and the woman to come into the boat. They both refused, the former keeping at the helm, though, the water was up to his middle, alleging the vessel would come safe ashore. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. The Rev.

Yesterday being what is generally termed a Paper Day," the Court of King's' Bench was oc cupied in hearing law arguments, not interesting to any others than the parties. His Lordship after wards proceeded to Guildhall, and sat a short time at Nisi Pjus. The following singular occurrence took place a few days ago, at the Royal Navy Asylum, at Greenwich :—A female child, five years of age, was sent . anonymously to that Establishment, with an intimation that .501. in Bank notes were sewed up in the child's clothes, w hi c h were accordingly found. The following account of the birth, pa rentage and education of the little foundling was also given :—The father was described as a sea man on board a British man of war, and, however unusual it appears, that his wife, from some cause or other,. was permitted to go to sea with him.— The Tar was killed in action, and the day after his death his wife was delivered of *a female in fant under one of the guns, and almost immedi ately expired. The child was taken . care of by th! messmates of its deceased parents, and fed with biscuit and water; all of them acting the part of nurses ; by turns, and carefully removing it from hammock to hammock, when they were culled upon duty. On the ship's arrival in the port, the 501. above-mentioned were colleded among the ship's company, and the object of their bounty transmitted to the Asylum. The child, which is remarkably, healthy has been baptized Sally Trun- nion.
